Yes, and as usual tends to be forgotten in these "Apple did it first" kind of discussions.

Nobody is saying Apple did it first though? Even the article says they used to use HoloLens before this.

They’re just saying it does what they need better. A significantly higher resolution, image clarity and field of view than what the HoloLens could provide.

From the article:

> In previous years, Horgan tried other headsets, like Google Glass and Microsoft HoloLens, and found they weren’t high-resolution enough.

There’s another mention of HoloLens as well in the article.

I saw that, however the way it was expressed feels like a personal point of view, given the already existing experience of HoloLens, including some scientific papers.
